Embodiment 1

[0032] Duration (minutes)

[0033] Microscopic analysis of the product after 40 minutes revealed that it was significantly smaller than 1 micron. The product was measured by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and its particle size was estimated to be 100 nm. After 5 minutes and 40 minutes in the above scheme, a certain amount of the dispersion (1.5g) was extracted and added to a 20ml clean pressure-resistant plastic bottle, and then a non-quantitative valve was installed at an appropriate position. Then HFA 134a (20g) was injected through each valve. Compared with the preparation of the sample at 5 minutes, the suspension preparation made from the sample at 40 minutes has a significantly lower sedimentation rate and a larger deposition volume. These two characteristics are used as a bulking agent for metered inhalation. Suspension formulations are advantageous. Therefore, a technique has been found to provide a stable suspension of an excipient (lactose) with a typical ...

Embodiment 2

[0035] The slurry formed by micronized lactose monohydrate (15 g) and absolute ethanol was processed according to the method in Example 1.

[0036] The lactose slurry was concentrated by centrifugation at 5000 rpm for 5 minutes, and 10 g was added to each centrifuge tube. After pouring out the excess ethanol, the ratio of lactose to ethanol is 1:4. Add it as a thick paste to the inner wall of a polyethylene terephthalate vial. Micronized formoterol fumarate has been added to the polyethylene terephthalate vial, and then added to the propellant The agent was prepared into the following formulation:

Embodiment 3

[0047] A further formulation was prepared in a manner similar to that of Example 2. This preparation used nanoparticulate lactose and micronized lactose, but did not contain drugs, and had the following composition:

[0048] mg / ml g / unit mg / ml g / unit mg / ml g / unit

[0049] Lactose monohydrate 2.772 0.0410 2.772 0.0357 2.772 0.0375

[0051] HFA 134a 1203.048 17.7790 0.000 0.0000 493.337 6.6684

[0052] HFA 227 0.000 0.0000 1379.268 17.7843 822.228 11.1141

[0053] The results measured by the optical measurement technique are similar to the results of the formulation in Example 2. The sedimentation speed of the samples containing nano-lactose is slower than that of all the samples containing the air-jet pulverized micronized lactose.

Abstract

The use of a microparticle loosening agent in a pharmaceutical aerosol formulation comprising a suspension of drug particles in a propellant, the microparticle loosening agent having a very small mass median diameter, which is less than 1 micron, preferably less than 300nm. Particulate loosening agents include, for example, vitamin C, sugars, polysaccharides, amino acids, organic and inorganic salts, urea, and propiododon.

Description

Invention field [0001] The invention relates to a medicinal aerosol preparation, in particular to a suspension aerosol preparation containing drug particles and a nanoparticle auxiliary powder, which is suitable for respiratory tract administration. Background of the invention [0002] Medicinal aerosol preparations packed in pressure-resistant containers have been used for more than 40 years. Most of the time, chlorofluorocarbons are used as propellants. The drug is formulated into a solution or suspension according to its dissolution properties and other factors. After recognizing that the use of the above-mentioned propellants had an adverse effect on the environment, other propellants were adopted, which posed a challenge to reformulation or the introduction of new drugs, and also presented an opportunity to provide improved formulation processes. [0003] Two satisfactory propellants have appeared. They are 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (HFA134a) and 1,1,1,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropro...
